Really a lovely Barolo. Last had 2 years ago. Opened 4 hours in advance, no decant. Don’t think it needed it either - this is quite seamless. Lighter color in the glass, but with a clarity that is obvious. Aromatically a lot of lighter red fruit and some earth. Palate has real depth with good acid and medium tannins with a very long finish. Quite delicious and a perfect pairing with some grilled campo grande pork marinated with garlic and rosemary. — 3 days ago

I might have had three glasses of this before I realized others at the table might want some of it. — 7 months ago

Very nice, more Amarone like than Nebbiolo in my mind. Nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Grippy tannins. — 4 years ago

An experience. Intense morello and crimson fruit with lithe structure and a mushroomy edge. Memorable meal. — 2 months ago

A serious balsamicy bottling that needs air and food. Critically hard to beat. — 3 months ago

Little funk on the nose. Sour cherry, some minerals and a bit of smoke. Little lighter than I expected, some healthy tannin on the back end. Really fine wine for $20 or so. Nice to see Vallana’s around again. — 8 months ago

Ne plus ultra of Dolcetto? Violets and roses. A not unpleasant touch of reduction (tar, asphalt). Silky. — 4 years ago

Excellent cooler-climate styled Nebbiolo. Great acidity, texture and length. Nice herbal / black tea undertones with cherry fruit on top. Yum. — 2 months ago

1999: Yeah. Outstanding 25-year old Barolo still an explosion of Nebbiolo flavor. Brick color but plenty of depth, with strawberry fruit well-balanced by typical leather and tar. A treat now, and wouldn’t wait any longer. — a year ago
